SCHOOL DAYS - WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL TREATS | with Shellye

Whether you're a teacher, student or parent, I have a sweet welcome-back-to-school treat using just a few basic supplies from Doodlebug Design!

For this project, any type of pre-made sack, bag or box can be used.  I've chosen a 2.5" die and cardstock to create this cute mini shopping style bag.  SVG files are also a good place to hunt for cute bags!

After cutting the bags and assembling, I moved to stamping and coloring the images

with alcohol markers.These type of projects are perfect for mixing up your collection of Doodlebug stamps and dies!

The stamped images were embellished with sprinkles and twine.

Inside of the little shopping bags I added clear bags of candy.  What better way to tie off the clear bags than with a twist of washi tape!  To create the "washi twist ties" I used a thin gauge wire (I actually pulled a strand from a piece of wire-edged ribbon) , placed it in the center of the washi tape and then wrapped around.  I also trimmed the washi twist tie to about an 1/4" width.  

Again, have fun mixing and matching papers from different collections, as well as stamps to create unique little gifts!

IT'S NOT SUMMER WITHOUT FLIP FLOPS | with Jennifer

Hello, Doodlebug fans. Nothing says Summer like a fun new pair of Flip Flops, right. :)

Well for this colorful pair I used patterned papers from the Sweet Summer collection, along with some Petite Prints.

Doodlebug cutting files were used for the cherries. They originally had smiley faces on them, but for this project, I decided to leave them off.  Die-cut citrus slices and a few sprinkles were also used on the top of each flip flop.

Another cutting file was used for the labels and some hand stitching was used throughout to add some texture.

 Thanks for stopping by. Happy Crafting!

DOODLE-POPS CHRISTMAS IN JULY TAGS | with Nathalie

Since I have been having so much fun with the Christmas Town collection this month, I am back today with another Christmas in July project. I decided to create a series of gift tags featuring Doodle-pops which are truly perfect for cards and tags. Not only do they add instant depth to your projects but they are always super cute!

I started with basic cardstock in five different colors which I cut into tags manually (measuring 2.5x4.75 inches). I also picked 5 packs of Doodle-pops, one for each tag.

I then decorated each tags with a mix of patterned papers, all from the 6x6 Christmas Town stack, stickers, die-cuts from the same collection and various embellishments. I worked on each one individually as I wanted them to look different.

I also paid special attention to textures and dimension adhering some of the stickers and sentiments on foam dots, using sequins and heart Sprinkles, and adding cute paperclips or clothespin. My most used metal die is the hole reinforcer from the Pill Better set and I pulled it out again to cut some out of patterned paper (see above). I love them so much better than plain office ones!

Matching chunky twines finish the look. I am so happy with these tags! They will adorn simply wrapped Christmas presents beautifully! Of course, they would also make a great gift by themselves!

Thank you for stopping by! As always, if you have questions, you can contact me via my blog or Instagram account. Happy crafting!

SUMMER SUNSHINE WRAPPED IN A PILLOW BOX | with Karen

Every now and again, I happen to create a project that just warms my heart. Sometimes, inspiration is everything - like projects created for the baby shower of a couple that adopted a little cutie. Sometimes, the product is everything - like with adorable stamps and colourful patterns from Doodlebug. And sometimes, it happens to be the combination of both that leaves projects with a special place in my heart - like these little pillow box favours, the perfect combination of inspiration and amazing product! To create these little pillow boxes, I used some of my favourite textured cardstock in a variety of yellow colours - sunshine, bumblebee and lemon all make an appearance. Each was then topped with a mini doilie and a stip of Petite Prints in a stone gray featuring a variety of patterns. Some Lily White Jewels surround the cutest part of the whole box - a great combination of the sun shaped stamp from the Far Out Doodle Stamps and one of the cloud stamps from Rainbows and unicorns.

While these were designed to brighten the day of party guests, they sure brightened my day as I was creating them - all 50!! Was it worth it - well...just look at that face! Need I say more?

Thanks for dropping by, Hugs,

Hi Everyone!  It's Kathy today with a couple of cards I created using the new Dragon Tails Cut Files available in the Silhouette Design Store and the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop!  I love shaped cards, add in some adorable Dragons and Vikings and you get total cuteness!  Take a peek...

I just love the Viking with Horn and Notes. (here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)  He just said "party" to me, so I added the Party Title (here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) to complete the look!

The dragons in this cut file collection are too cute!  I fell in love with this Dragon, (here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop)  his teeth are just too funny!  I added in the Birthday Cake, (here in the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop) you could also customize this with some Skinny Alphas and put a number on the cake!

Both cards were made using Doodlebug Textured Cardstock and Gingham Linen Petite Prints.  Be sure to check out all of the new Dragon Tails cut files in the Silhouette Design Store and the Lori Whitlock SVG Shop, they are absolutely adorable and would make great party decorations!  That's it for me today, thanks for stopping by to peek!
